Chapter 104 Confrontation of Fate

Boom!

Wow, its amazing!

I-Is that so? Well~, this skill is quite difficult to control. I had a hard time getting to this point, you know?

Haru applauded when Touko showed the stone giants body crushed again. Haru, without any sarcastic feeling, was honestly surprised by it and Touko, who was happy by her reaction, showed her unique skill over and over again. Im fine with her showing it, but its about time I feel its a waste to destroy the stone giants material, so Ill be happy if they are satisfied with that as the last one.

Alright! Then, one more punch!

Waah~

With Harus clapping, Touko tries to destroy the rock again.

Wait. If you do more than that, you will be at a disadvantage in the mock battle You have shown enough your ability and it was a good break time for Haru. Its about time to start the next mock battle.

Uh, you are right, Deris-danna. Besides, if I use it too much, ah, its nothing, okay!? Theres no downside, okay!?

Ah, yeah. Theres some kind of demerit if she uses it too much. Thank you for the easy-to-understand explanation. Well, if it completely ignores the endurance value, it will be completely upward compatible with the skill Penetration. Skills that are too powerful usually have their downside, just like Satous skill that has the downside of status drop when the time is up.

Okay, okay. Now, just get ready.

I-Im serious, okay? Theres really nothing, okay!?

Touko looked back and denied it many times until she reached the other side. Moved forward, turned back, moved forward, turned back, she repeated that.

Hey, Chinatsu. Is Touko actually a little stupid?

In terms of academic ability, shes much lower than Haruna. She doesnt study at all since shes a sports scholarship student

I-I see

I guess Chinatsu, who has a chairman disposition, doesnt get along with her in that part. Still, even if shes a little stupid, it doesnt change the fact that shes formidable. It can be said that her battle sense is outstanding.

Haru, how will you fight Touko after seeing her power?

Lets see Im a little hesitating whether its okay to use the staff. Ive been using this staff, which Gan-san made for me, quite recklessly, but I think thats because of the staffs sturdiness. As Touko-chan said, if she can attack without minding endurance

It might break if it gets even one hit.

Although its a practice staff, its a first-class staff made by Gan-san. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the best class if it is only the sturdiness. However, it cannot be said that its defense power is absolute. Just like Thereses shield that has its durability, this staff also has its limit. If Nell tries to burn it seriously, it will melt, and if Lily tries to break it seriously, it will break. It would be pretty dangerous if it got hit by Toukos punch or kick.

I think Ill follow Touko-chan here and use my bare hands!

That would be good. But, theres no doubt that Toukos attack can be a deadly blow. You should be careful about how you receive and parry her attack. It seems that she cant use that ability too much, so aiming for a long-term battle may be a good idea.

Okay!

Alright. Then, Lily, be the referee again.

Yes, Goshujin-sama!

Lily walked to the mock battle venue with Haru. Seeing the two, Touko also heads there with a cheerful shout.

She will be fine, right?

Im not sure about that. By the way, what are the results of the two so far?

As far as I know, Haru won all the matches. Starting with karate, PE softball, lunch break speed-eating competition, and they even participated in free-for-all marathon competition. Basically, it was just Touko one-sidedly chasing after Haruna, though.

They did various things, huh

Even if she has been losing, its amazing that she is enthusiastically trying to fight her again this much. Is she acts straightforwardly because she doesnt think much?

Okay~! Then, we will begin todays main event, Haru-chan vs Touko-chans mock battle~. Are you two ready? I will start it even if you dont, okay?

Anytime.

Me too.

Haru and Touko take their starting positions and take their respective stances after bowing. This is Harus first interpersonal battle between bare hands (Touko is using hands and feet protectors though) ever since fighting Tuds of the Midnight.

Then~ Start!

Victore goes to the one who moves first!

Soon after the start, Touko sprints to close the distance. Does she do that swift attack because she is wary of Harus throwing? Her speed, which is like an arrow being shot, is equal to or faster than Harus speed.

This speed did she only pick up close combat type skills? Or, did she use Instantaneous Power skill to abruptly accelerate the initial action just like Nell? Anyway, the distance between the two disappeared in a blink of an eye, and now they are within each others reach. However, Haru is still not moving.

Sei!

Boom! Toukos fist makes an explosive sound as if it exploded. Just before entering the range, she kicked the ground and slid diagonally. By that time, she was ready to attack, and it took less than a second for the straight fist to be released. The fist is truly a deadly blow. Even if Harus HP has been growing quite a lot, it can be fatal if she receives it directly.

On the other hand, Haru tries to parry it. How? With magic (martial arts).

!?

Haru parries Toukos fist with aiki. After doing so, she tries to use that momentum to slam Touko against the ground. I guess Touko doesnt understand whats happening. Im sure that Haru was using aiki even before she came to this world, but this magic-soaked martial art was only developed after she came here. In the first place, its not a technique you use in a karate match. It would be heartless to tell Touko to predict that.

Not yet!

Oh, when I thought she would hit the ground, she regained her posture and landed safely. And as soon as her feet reached the ground, she leaps at Haru again. The way she switched back was splendid, and she made a quick decision as if there was no other option. It was to the point that it looked like she moved reflexively.

Still, Haru is not losing in her judgment. She calmy parries Touko who came back and blows her to the other side. Touko just came back, but she was slammed against the ground

Tei!

no, she landed and attacked again. It was the second time. No, Touko is repeating it over and over again. Shes like a bouncy ball bouncing around in a closed room, but her speed isnt lowering at all. Rather, shes getting faster with each repetition.

Blown off and counterattack, blown off and counterattack Its only been a few seconds since it started, but its already being repeated over and over again. On the other hand, Haru has been intercepting the attack, which would probably result in her defeat if it hits, in the last minute. It makes me nervous by watching it. Next to me, even Chinatsu, who was on the edge of her seat, has finally stood up.

Its so fun, Haruna! Hahaha! What the hell is this!

In contrast to Haru who is expressionless, Touko is laughing happily with her bare fighting spirit. You You actually love Haru, dont you?
